MMA and jiu-jitsu, televised or streamed.
Official dates only. Each calendar desk is its own page. Economy rows wait for the agency print. Politics is a short list of meetings and elections of similar weight. Crime dates are court dates we can source. Sport is televised MMA and jiu-jitsu from fetched promoter pages.
Compiled Monday, August 31, 2026, Eastern Time.
Official promoter pages only. We list numbered UFC cards and Noche UFC as posted on UFC.com; Dana White’s Contender Series Season 10 from UFC.com episode previews (Episode 4 card confirmed; later Tuesdays labeled Partially confirmed from the “10 weekly episodes every Tuesday” cadence); The Ultimate Fighter Season 34 from UFC.com; ONE Fight Night and this week’s Inner Circle / Friday Fights from onefc.com; CFFC MMA (Fight Pass); UFC BJJ; Polaris; the ADCC World Championship; and one PFL date from ESPN’s PFL schedule. We do not list later ONE Friday Fights weeks or IBJJF regional Opens. UFC clocks are the main-card start on UFC.com (Eastern), not prelims. Cards change; the promoter page is the record. No odds, no picks. Who’s Number One: last posted card was WNO 32, March 31, 2026. No upcoming WNO date fetched on FloGrappling. Fury Grappling / CFFC BJJ: last posted was CFFC BJJ 17, April 3, 2026, 2300 Arena. No later Fury or CFFC BJJ date on cffc.tv/bjj-grappling.
UFC dates, venues, and main-card clocks come from https://www.ufc.com/events, fetched Aug. 31, 2026. ESPN’s UFC schedule is secondary, used for the Paramount+ column and, where noted, a numbered-card label. Where the clocks disagree, we print UFC.com and record ESPN. We do not pick a winner.
ONE rows are from fetched onefc.com news pages. Fight Night 47: Prime Video, Sept. 4, Lumpinee. Inner Circle 29 and Friday Fights 169: U.S./Canada clocks from the how-to-watch page. Fight Night 48: Osmanov vs. Souza Jr. article, Oct. 2, Lumpinee, Prime Video, U.S. primetime — no clock on that page. Later Friday Fights weeks are omitted.
CFFC 160 and 161 are from the Aug. 13, 2026, CFFC.tv ticket release. Live on UFC Fight Pass is the about-blurb on that page, not a per-card listing.
UFC BJJ 11 is from UFC.com. We did not fetch a UFC BJJ 12 page. Polaris 39 is from polarisprograppling.com; the page does not name an outlet or a timezone. PFL Chicago is an ESPN PFL-schedule listing, labeled Partially confirmed; we did not fetch pflmma.com. ESPN also listed PFL Dubai and PFL Lyon; those are not on this list.
ADCC dates, venue, and weight classes are from the official ADCC event page. FloGrappling and the 10:00 listings are from the Tauron Arena page, which does not label a timezone.
DWCS Season 10: UFC.com episode-4 preview (Cameron Kelly, Aug. 28, 2026) says five matchups are set for Sept. 1 at Meta APEX and that Season 10 is 10 weekly episodes every Tuesday, 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, Paramount+, Meta APEX. Episode 3 preview (Aug. 21) placed Week 3 on Aug. 25, the same cadence. The how-to-watch Season 10 page timed out on fetch. Episodes 1–4 fall on Aug. 11, 18, 25, and Sept. 1 if that weekly Tuesday cadence holds from the season start. Remaining Tuesdays — Sept. 8, 15, 22, 29, Oct. 6, Oct. 13 — are listed as Partially confirmed. UFC.com has not posted those episode pages or cards. No fighter names on those rows.
The Ultimate Fighter Season 34: UFC.com (Apr. 9, 2026) said the series returns June 14 on Paramount+ (U.S., Latin America, Australia), new episodes every Tuesday for the remainder of a 12-episode season, coaches Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping, 16 men’s bantamweight and women’s strawweight prospects. ufc.com/tuf prints Season 34, premieres Sunday, June 14, Paramount+. A June 7 how-to-watch page says new episodes premiere on Tuesdays in the United States on Paramount+. If the 12-episode run is June 14 then weekly Tuesdays, the last TV episode would be Aug. 25. That end date is derived; UFC.com has not posted a season-end recap on the pages fetched. We do not list past TV episodes as upcoming.
Sept. 26 UFC Fight Night (Rosas Jr. vs. Barcelos), Meta APEX: the fetched UFC.com event page lists Melissa Amaya vs. Valesca Machado (women’s strawweight) and Mehemmedeli Osmanli vs. Ilimbek Akylbek Uulu (bantamweight). That page does not print “TUF” or “The Ultimate Fighter” on those bouts. Sports Illustrated (Aug. 25, 2026) and Heavy (Aug. 19, 2026) describe them as TUF 34 finals. The TUF-finale claim is Partially confirmed. No odds.
